Drinking Locally, Travelling Globally

Pyramid Breweries – Seattle, WA

Halloween at Pyramid. Pyramid is one of our favorite haunts (had to be said, sorry). We’ve been coming here since it opened, and have been drinking their beer since 1993. We look forward to the yearly release of Snow Cap. It wouldn’t be winter in Seattle without it. The pub sits across the street form Safeco Field and is very near Seahawk Stadium.

Visit on a non-game day for a long lunch of pub food with a Northwest twist (lots of salmon, omega -3 goes great with beer). On a game day there is a crazy superfan vibe that can overwhelm the non-sporty (Lush C). The decor is a typical NW , industrial brewery with lots of exposed brick and wood.

Beer Sampler:

Snow Cap– E had the Snowcap because it is hard to resist, and it had been about 10 months since his last one. It is a nice malty, caramel sweet winter warmer with a nice hop finish. It is a very drinkable sneaker beer that is 7% ABV.Humbug’r – The spooky spetacular Lush C had the new Humbug’r, a nice smokey porter, that was very smooth to the finish.
